Clawson Dairy Shropshire Blue
Shropshire Blue is a cow's milk blue from Long Clawson in Leicestershire, England, instantly recognizable for that bright orange paste streaked through with deep blue veining. The color comes from annatto, the same plant dye used in old-school cheddars, and it's what gives this cheese its signature look on a board.
The paste is semi-firm and a little on the drier side, with a crumbly break under the knife and a creamy coat once it warms up at room temperature. The curd is pierced during aging so the Penicillium roqueforti can breathe through the wheel, which is why the blue spreads so evenly across the paste. Flavor-wise it leads sweet and creamy, with caramel and a little nuttiness through the middle, then the blue veining kicks in with a confident peppery bite that pulls back into a long, sweet-savory finish.
Serve it at room temperature so the paste opens up and the aromatics get a chance to lift. A gorgeous, slightly sharp, a little nutty blue cheese — absolutely love it.
